Dark Souls
is the new action role-playing game from the developers who brought you Demon’s
Souls, FromSoftware. Dark Souls will have many familiar features: A dark fantasy
universe, tense dungeon crawling, fearsome enemy encounters and unique online
interactions.

Prepare
for a new, despair-inducing world, with a vast, fully-explorable horizon and
vertically-oriented landforms. Prepare for a new, mysterious story, centered
around the the world of Lodran, but most of all, prepare to die.

You will
face countless murderous traps, countless darkly grotesque mobs and several
gargantuan, supremely powerful demons and dragons bosses. You must learn from
death to persist through this unforgiving world.

And you
aren’t alone. Dark Souls allows the spirits of other players to show up in your
world, so you can learn from their deaths and they can learn from yours. You can
also summon players into your world to co-op adventure, or invade other's worlds
to PVP battle.

New to
Dark Souls are Bonfires, which serve as check points as you fight your way
through this epic adventure. While rested at Bonfires, your health and magic
replenish but at a cost, all mobs respawn. Beware: There is no place in Dark
Souls that is truly safe.

With days
of game play and an even more punishing difficulty level, Dark Souls will be the
most deeply challenging game you play this year. Can you live through a million
deaths and earn your legacy?
